METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC SUBSCRIPTION BINDING
First Claim
1. A method for dynamic management of subscription based data for a fielded system utilizing a remote computer system, said method comprising:
- providing unique identification data for the fielded system to the remote computer system;
receiving user identification data at the remote computer system; and
determining, at the remote computer system, from at least one of the unique fielded system identification data and the user identification data, if the fielded system is bound to a set of subscription based data, or if the fielded system is available to be bound to a set of subscription based data.

12. A computer programmed to:
-
determine, from received data associated with a fielded system and received data identifying a user, if the fielded system is bound to a set of subscription based data or available to be bound to a set of subscription based data; deny provisioning of subscription based data to the fielded system until the fielded system is determined to be available to bound; and upon determining the fielded system is available to be bound, create a subscription installation identifier that binds a set of subscription based data to the fielded system and the user, and generate a set of subscription based data that is associated with the subscription installation identifier. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system for dynamic management of subscription base data utilized in fielded systems, said system comprising:
-
a fielded system; a user computer coupled to a network and configured to receive data from and provide data to said fielded system; and a back office system, said back office system programmed to dynamically associate and disassociate subscription based data with said fielded system based on data received from said fielded system via said user computer and the network. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
